Bill overview
This bill, H.1633, aims to modernize and clarify the existing Massachusetts law regarding ‘upskirting,’ which is the act of taking photos or videos of someone without their consent, particularly focusing on capturing images of their private areas. The legislation seeks to strengthen the definition of the offense and provide clearer guidelines for prosecution. It’s intended to ensure victims have better legal protections and that law enforcement can effectively address this form of harassment and invasion of privacy.
